Watch as Buffalo Bills cornerback Ron Brooks sends Spurs defender Jan Vertonghen sprawling with a proper NFL-style tackle.

The two came face to face during a ‘Football v Football’ open day at Tottenham’s Hotspur Way training centre, presumably because the club are planning to offset the costs of expanding White Hart Lane by staging NFL matches there.

In the mean time, have a wince at this clip and understand why American football players wear so much protective gear. Oh, and enjoy the vintage Street Fighter graphics.
